Teacher guidance page to be deleted

Research The first section is all about how you are researching for your project. This will include a mixture of images and text. The section is worth 8 marks in total- not a huge amount, so it’s important that we don’t spent too long on all the pages. That said, a lot of the annotation that you complete will depend on the work on the following pages.

Step 8 Create a customer profile and a questionnaire This should give you an insight for your specification and thus your designs

Customer Profile Questionnaire List of ten questions that cover what the client would want from your product. aimed at a selection of people who are similar to your client and show the results that will influence your product in the form of graphs. From completing the questionnaire and collecting the results you should know a lot more about what your product should do. This should influence some part of your product. If none of your findings influence your end product – they shouldn’t be there.

Step 9 Display you questionnaire results State what you have found out from each question

Questionnaire results. The question with a pie chart or bar graph showing the responses. Questionnaire findings. Written in paragraphs explaining for each question: 1.What you found out 2. How this will help you with your project
